All,
I was running my outboard the other day and started losing RPM's. It was as if it went into a limp mode, however no alarms, oil pressure light was good etc. I could let it idle, then go to WOT and it would run as if it was going to WOT then drop RPM's and back into what seemed like a limp mode.
When I got it on the trailer, I pulled the dipstick and it SHOT out oil through the dipstick as if I had built up back pressure in the oil pan.
Seems strange this has occurred with no alarms. Any insight of what may cause this or what to trouble shoot? I was thinking maybe a blockage in the high or low pressure oil pumps, but not sure.
Thanks,
